"Anyone can paint if they are given the right instructions.” - Marcel Desbiens, Master Artist and Principal Tutor
Marcel has designed learning pathways to give students structure as they develop from novice to advanced artist.
If you have limited or no experience with Watercolour paint, then we recommend you start with Penelope Gilbert-Ng who will help you learn the basics of Watercolour painting in a friendly and supportive environment.
Penelope offers beginners and intermediate workshops, as does Jan Lawnikanis
If you fancy playing with Watercolour while sipping your drink of choice, come to one of the regular Paint & Sip events.
